Chapter 350 — The Hospital Room and the Surgery
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Quite a few girls told their boyfriends that if their boyfriends could do what Wei Zhao had done and confess to them in front of Wang Zhifeng, they would be willing to do anything for them...
Those male classmates with less than honorable intentions wished they could transform into Wei Zhao on the spot, but when they thought of the consequences such a confession would bring, none of them dared actually do it!
Once Wei Zhao said his piece, he was done for; once he finished, it would be a wonder if he escaped a demerit or even expulsion!
Before, Tang Zhi had still found it rather embarrassing, but after hearing the gossip circulating among the students these past few days, she actually felt quite happy. At least many people envied her!
Even Zou Ruoming, who used to make lewd remarks at the sight of her, now walked around her in a wide detour. All of this had been brought about by Wei Zhao!
Of course, if Zou Ruoming counted for little, what everyone envied most was that even Wang Zhifeng would smile and nod at Tang Zhi whenever he saw her. It was hard for Tang Zhi to imagine that this was the same dean of academic affairs who had berated her so fiercely that time she splashed water all over him!
In truth, Wang Zhifeng's suffering was one he could not voice aloud. Tang Zhi was Wei Zhao's woman, and who knew how far the two of them had gone, whether they had already been to a hotel? If, while at a hotel, Wei Zhao happened to recall that scene from that morning and mentioned it offhandedly to Tang Zhi, would his own affairs not become known to Tang Zhi as well?
So Wang Zhifeng did not dare offend Tang Zhi, and he feared even more that Tang Zhi might hold a grudge against him over that incident—which was why he was so amiable and kind to her.
The phone in Tang Zhi's pocket began to vibrate. She was slightly taken aback. Apart from Wei Zhao, Kang Xiaofeng, Liu Xinlan, and Xiaofen, only her parents knew her number. Since she was with Wei Zhao at that moment, who could be calling?
"Hold on, I need to take this..." Tang Zhi withdrew her hand from Wei Zhao's large one and fished her phone from her pocket. The screen displayed Mom's number!
Mom should know she was at school, so why call at this hour? Tang Zhi found it a little odd, but she answered anyway. "Hello... Mom?"
"Yun'er, are you at school?" Mother Tang's voice carried a note of urgency.
"Yes, I'm at school, just about to head to the cafeteria for lunch. Is something the matter?" Hearing her mother's tone, Tang Zhi immediately grew puzzled.
"Are you with Wei Zhao?" Mother Tang asked instead.
"..." Tang Zhi was even more taken aback. Mom called just to ask this? To ask whether she was with Wei Zhao? Though she found it rather absurd, Tang Zhi still answered sheepishly, "Mm... I am."
"That's good then..." Mother Tang let out a breath of relief. "Here's the thing—go talk to Wei Zhao. Doesn't he know people at the hospital? Ask him to put in a word for us..."
"Ah..." The moment Tang Zhi heard her mother's request, she felt a twinge of displeasure. We've already lent you the money, so just go to the hospital and have the surgery done—why drag anyone else into it? Isn't there enough trouble already?
"Yun'er, you don't understand. Hospital rooms are terribly scarce right now, and without connections you have to stay out in the corridor. You wouldn't want your father sleeping in the corridor at night, would you?" Mother Tang had heard about how Wei Zhao had secured a room for Xiaofen. "Also, for your father's surgery, I'd like the head physician of orthopedics to perform it, but his schedule is packed—he only does two surgeries a week, and they're already booked through the second half of the year. See if you can ask Wei Zhao to put in a word and squeeze your father in early?"
